Affordability

Hoopes Vision Affordability

When considering LASIK, KAMRA, PRK, or ICL, as with any kind of surgery, the primary considerations should be safety and results. At Hoopes Vision, our commitment is, and has always been, providing our patients with the safest, most effective, most advanced vision correction procedures available anywhere.

While our main goal is to provide patients with the very best in surgical vision correction by placing the newest technology in the hands of the most experienced surgeons, we also work to bring this level of treatment within the reach of almost any budget.

Vision correction surgery represents a significant investment, and it’s understandable that someone looking into these life-changing procedures would want the best available value for his or her money. This is good news for Hoopes Vision patients, as people are often surprised to find that the price of LASIK, PRK, or ICL at Hoopes Vision is comparable in price to the so-called “discount” centers. In fact, once you factor in the post-operative care and the lifetime See Clearly Guarantee – both of which are included in the price of surgery at Hoopes Vision, whereas they are separate costs at many centers – Hoopes Vision looks like a better value than ever.

Here are some ways that many of our patients have found helpful in making vision correction at Hoopes Vision even more affordable:

Determining Your LASIK Cost

The price of LASIK varies according to the type of laser procedure that is best for the patient. We offer a free, no-obligation LASIK exam with our doctors and LASIK surgeons to help each patient determine if he or she is a good candidate, and to determine the cost of their individual LASIK.

Financing

Hoopes Vision is proud to offer financing through Care Credit. We have several different payment plans available, including no-interest financing for up to 18 and 24 months, or extended terms of up to 60 months. Plans are available to make LASIK fit into nearly any budget.

Medical Savings Accounts

Vision correction surgery is eligible for Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and medical Flex Spending Accounts (FSA). This means patients can use pre-tax funds to pay for these life-changing procedures. Depending on the patient’s tax bracket, this can mean a savings of 20% or more.

Tax Deduction

The IRS has determined that LASIK is a tax-deductible medical expense. This ruling may give you an additional income tax deduction if you have LASIK performed.

Credit Cards

Many patients use credit cards to pay for their LASIK eye surgeries. We accept most credit cards.

Hoopes Vision vs. "Discount" LASIK Centers Comparison

What Do You Get?

Hoopes Vision

“Discount” LASIK Centers

Technology

The Wavelight Refractive Suite – the fastest, safest vision correction laser in the United States, and one of the newest generation of wavefront-optimized lasers designed to reduce nighttime halo and glare

An older generation laser, likely to produce halo and glare in night vision

The most experienced LASIK surgeons in Utah, supported by expert doctors and staff with the experience of tens of thousands of successful procedures.

Discount centers often employ surgeons who are either just starting out, or were not busy in private practice for a variety of reasons. Support staff may only perform a few procedures a month.

Post-operative care

All post-operative care is covered for the first year

Usually 6 months, sometimes only 3.

Guarantees

Our lifetime See Clearly Guarantee is free – an assurance of great vision not only now, but in the years to come.

Guarantees, if they are even available, are usually an additional expense.

Above-The-Board Pricing

Our fees are reasonable, transparent, and all-inclusive: your price includes the best treatment available, with no hidden fees or upcharges.

“Too good to be true” advertised prices aren’t available to the vast majority of patients. Guarantees, tear duct plugs, and blade-free flap creation are treated as upcharges, pushed on the patient by commissioned salespeople.

See Clearly Guarantee and Assurance Program

Hoopes Vision was the first LASIK center in Utah to offer patients a money-back guarantee of great vision after surgery. Our See Clearly Guarantee and Assurance Program reflects the confidence we hold in the effectiveness of our technologies and the skill of our surgeons. It is a free, full money-back guarantee if you fail to reach 20/25 vision or better within the 12-month post-operative period. We will also provide enhancements and touch-ups at no additional cost if your vision ever falls below 20/40, for life. Most, but not all patients qualify for this free lifetime guarantee. To learn more about the restrictions and terms of our See Clearly Guarantee and Assurance Program, please contact Hoopes Vision today or download the document here.

Proven Results

We are proud to publicize our track record of outstanding results. Patients who come to Hoopes Vision based on our reputation of safety and great surgical outcomes are often surprised at how affordable the very best treatment can be.

Lasik E-Book

Now in its seventh edition, our book, LASIK: A Guide for Patients and Their Families, is a great resource for patients and prospective patients who are interested in laser vision correction. It covers the history of LASIK, important advances in laser technology, and some of the ways Hoopes Vision sets itself apart by working to make world-class treatment affordable.

Affordability Our Procedures

Blade-Free LASIK

Hoopes Vision was the first LASIK practice in Salt Lake City to embrace the improved safety and precision of blade-free, all-laser LASIK. Over a decade later, we remain the most experienced provider of blade-free LASIK in Utah. By owning our own femtosecond laser platforms, we help make this advanced technology as affordable as possible for our patients.

Wavefront-Optimized

Hoopes Vision was the first practice in Utah to offer wavefront-optimized custom LASIK and PRK to our patients, doing so nearly five full years before any other provider in the state. We are still by far the most experienced provider of wavefront-optimized procedures in Utah. The economies of scale, and our practice of purchasing our own lasers, translate to cost savings which are then passed on to patients.

PRK

For patients who may not be candidates for blade-free LASIK, PRK can be an outstanding alternative, offering similarly excellent long-term results for patients with thin or irregularly shaped corneas, high prescriptions, or a combination of those factors. PRK is also very affordable and comes with the same postoperative care and See Clearly Guarantee as LASIK.

Patient Spotlight

Having my Lasik treatments done by Hoopes Vision was a wonderful experience! They were kind and very professional. Medical procedures of any kind usually make me very nervous. However, the people at Hoopes Vision made sure I was comfortable and understood every procedure from the start. They took the time to explain what I should expect from the actual Lasik procedure and each pre and post-operative visit. It was a great experience. I would definitely recommend Hoopes Vision for anyone considering any kind of eye surgery.
